Abstract
Objetivo: Establecer la relación entre el riesgo de caries en niños de 3 a 5 años y los niveles de Streptococcus mutans de la madre, atendidos en el programa de CRED del Centro de Salud Wichanzao de La Esperanza. Material y métodos: El estudio de tipo descriptivo y correlacional, evaluó una muestra de 51 niños y sus respectivas madres que acudieron al programa de CRED del Centro de Salud Wichanzao, quienes se constituyeron en el grupo de estudio. Se empleó el protocolo de la AAPD para determinar el riesgo de caries en los niños, se evaluaron muestras de placa blanda tanto del niño y su madre para luego estimar el número de UFC de Streptococcus mutans, se realizaron exámenes clínicos intraorales en los niños y sus madres para la valoración de caries mediante el uso del índice ceo-d y el CPOD respectivamente, así mismo se recolectó muestras de saliva de los niños para posteriormente determinar los niveles de pH y flujo salival. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que el 100% de los niños evaluados presenta un riesgo alto de caries; en tanto, el nivel de Streptococcus mutans en el 74.5% de los niños fue alto, moderado en el 23.5% y solamente el 2.0% reportó un nivel bajo. En las madres el 70.6% reportó un nivel alto, el 21.6% un nivel moderado y el 7.8% un nivel bajo. La prevalencia de caries fue alta en 5 los niños y muy alta en sus madres con valores de 4.8 y 17.1 respectivamente; en cuanto al nivel del flujo salival en los niños, el 7.8% alcanzó un nivel muy bajo, el 9.8% un nivel bajo y el 82.4% un nivel normal; así mismo, el 100% de los niños reportó un nivel alto de pH salival. Con respecto a la relación entre el nivel de riesgo de caries del niño y el nivel de Streptococcus mutans de la madre, se hallaron valores diferentes de cero solo en el nivel alto de riesgo del niño para los diferentes niveles de Streptococcus mutans de la madre.

Material and methods: The study of descriptive and correlational type, evaluated a sample of 51 children and their respective mothers who attended the CRED program of the Wichanzao Health Center, who were constituted in the study group. The protocol of the AAPD was used to determine the risk of caries in children, soft plaque samples of both the child and his mother were evaluated and then the number of CFU of Streptococcus mutans was estimated, intraoral clinical examinations were made in children and their children. mothers for the evaluation of caries through the use of the ceo-d index and the DMFT, respectively, likewise, children's saliva samples were collected to subsequently determine the pH and salivary flow levels. Results: The results showed that 100% of the children evaluated presented a high risk of caries; meanwhile, the level of Streptococcus mutans in 74.5% of children was high, moderate in 23.5% and only 2.0% reported a low level. In mothers 70.6% reported a high level, 21.6% a moderate level and 7.8% a low level. The prevalence of caries was high in 5 children and very high in their mothers with values of 4.8 and 17.1 respectively; Regarding the level of salivary flow in children, 7.8% reached a very low level, 9.8% a low level and 82.4% a normal level; likewise, 100% of the children reported a high level of salivary pH. With respect to the relationship between the level of caries risk of the child and the level of Streptococcus mutans of the mother, values different from zero were found only at the high risk level of the child for the different levels of Streptococcus mutans of the mother
